I have a small net of 10 hosts, and I update them from http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/packman/suse/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/ (also packman.inode.at) through a Squid proxy, squid-4.14 . This used to work, but starting about 2012-02-27 I get responses of 403 Forbidden. It looks like the mirror webserver rewrites the URL from http://hostname/ to https://hostname/, the client (Zypper) follows the 302 Found response, and Squid replies 403 Forbidden. It's supposed to be possible to configure Squid to act as a "man in the middle", generating a fake server certificate certified by a fake Certificate Authority that the client is supposed to trust. But a sysadmin whose paranoia is sufficient for the job wouldn't touch the fake cert concept with a 3 meter pole!
Could Packman (specifically its mirrors) please return to serving requests to http://packman.../ directly rather than rewriting to https? Thank you. -- James F. Carter Email: [email protected] Web: http://www.math.ucla.edu/~jimc (q.v. for PGP key)
